A break from the triple digit weather starts Saturday

San Antonio finally may be getting a break from the heat, at least through the weekend.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a 20 percent chance of scattered showers for Saturday, with highs only in the mid-90s through the weekend.

But before you get too excited, Friday's high is expected to hit 102 degrees.

Forecaster Pat McDonald said the slight cooling is because of a low-pressure system.

“The high pressure area that has been centered over Texas is weakening and sliding a little further north,” said McDonald. “This is in part due to the low pressure system and the gulf of Mexico system moving westward.”
